Spinach & Cheese Frittata

Here is a recipe for a light lunch/dinner dish which can be paired with a bowl of soup or a small salad. I just loved the texture of the frittata, it was absolutely light and fluffy.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

Eggs – 2 whole + 4 egg whites

Grated cheese (I used gouda) – 2 tbsps

Milk – 2 tsps

Oil – 1 tsp

Chopped onions – 3-4 tbsps

Roughly chopped spinach – ½ cup

Red chili flakes – ½ -1 tsp

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place two ramekins in the oven to warm. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, milk and 1 tbsp cheese, salt and pepper till they form a frothy mixture. Heat oil in a pan and add the chopped onions. Sauté for a minute and add the spinach. Cook till the leaves wilt (about 2 minutes), add a pinch of salt and pepper and slowly add to the egg mixture. Pull out the ramekins, brush/spray with oil and distribute the egg mixture into both the dishes and top with remaining cheese. Place the ramekins in a baking dish (to avoid any spilling) and bake for 15 minutes. Bon Appétit.

About Us

We have been friends for a long time and we have done it all: bunked classes, watched movies, sleepovers, trips and more. Some friendships last only through the school or college years but looks like this one was meant to be…because we are still friends.
After having cooked for our families and friends for a few years, we had the urge to cook for others. This led to the idea of opening a restaurant called ‘Square Meals’, which would take patrons on a gastronomic journey through different parts of India. The restaurant never materialized and the next best thing was this blog.
The Square Meals blog provides taste-tested recipes for you to try in your own kitchens. Join us on our culinary journey as we share some of our mouth-watering creations with foodies all over the world.
